Join Michael Dal Maso for an evening of communal fine dining as he put his 10+ years in professional kitchens to work on an elegant 6-course seasonal tasting menu that fuses rustic Italian flavours with French techniques, Canadian ingredients and more than a few unique twists.
This meal takes its whimsical inspiration of Il Ladro Sporco (the dirty thief) from the rabbit, the thief of the garden, served up along with everything we found him trying to steal in the garden that day.
